I think by the time I started with it, NixOS was already on systems, but reportedly that transition went off without a hitch. Before the transition, NixOS configs were in charge of generating OpenRC scripts or whatever, then afterwards the same configs generated systemd units instead. When the system has total control over the config files like that you get to bypass certain challenges!
You might notice that the old announcement for that feature includes no special care other than the requisite reboot to change init systems: https://web.archive.org/web/20200423143059/https://releases.nixos.org/nix-dev/2013-January/010482.html https://web.archive.org/web/20200423143059/https://releases....
